[Verse 2: Young Jeezy]Even though we had a will, we ain't have a way, (way)
They just told us how to live, we ain't have a say, (say)
All I know is the other side got some cuffs for ya, (for ya)Fresh khaki suit, nigga that's enough for ya, (yeah)
Got ya spendin' all ya money on lawyer fees, (fees)
Judge throwin' numbers at you like he speakin' Japanese, (oo-wahh)
All cause a nigga out here playin' bakery, (bakery)
I'm out here tryna get this bread, somebody pray for me, (haha)
I'm always on the block so I rarely go to church, (church)
Didn't wanna hear it from the preacher, cause the truth hurts
And right now I'm so high, I should be scared of heights, (heights)A Town nigga I be on that kryptonite, (yeah)
I got deadlines nigga no bedtime, (time)
The only thing promised to ya is some fed time (time)
And how did I get here in the first place
Oh that's right, see the trap was my birthplace (haha, Young)

[Outro: Young Jeezy]
Trap or die nigga till the day I mothafuckin' die nigga
Till you put me in that mothafuckin' couch and you put that dirt on me homie
Goin, ain't no way out
It's death or jail nigga
I'm there
Count me in
Trap life
